Self-service Business Intelligence and Data Visualization using Power BI

Traditional Business Intelligence (BI) software has failed to give business users the ability to create their own personalized reports and allow them to mashup data, design dashboards and analyze on their own without heavy IT dependency. Today, companies who are looking for ways to innovate and gain key competitive advantage are turning to modern self-service BI solutions. As organizations transform into data-driven intelligent companies and learn to harness the power of data, implementing a self-servicedata visualization tool has become imperative to generate actionable insights and make faster intelligent decisions. Self-service BI lets users access data their own data, create reports & interactive visualizations, design and publish analytical dashboards within a secure and supported architecture. This approach frees up IT resources and allow non-technical business users to independently satisfy their own information needs.
